Hey guys,
I just put a Yaesu VXA-220 handheld in my Cub along with a remote antenna. Everything works and radio is nice and clear. I have one issue I can't figure out. The CTAF at my airport is 123.07 and the AWOS is 121.12 for this airport. I am keeping my radio on the CTAF 123.07. Whenever I am close to the airport the 121.12 tries to bleed in. It only last for a second or two but I can hear that AWOS trying to come in and it goes away. Why would I be picking up that other frequency??? The radio has the dual watch for 2 frequencies but that is disabled. This is driving me crazy.
Would it help to turn the squelch up and make it less sensitive? This does not make sense to me.
